Havoc Demon Hunter Mythic+ Guide

• The Fel-Scarred talent tree is generally more passive than the Aldrachi Reaver talent tree, Monster Rising it is a bit counter intuitive as on one hand, it enhances your abilities during Metamorphosis turning Eye Beam into Abyssal Gaze, Sigil of Flame into Sigil of Doom and Immolation Aura into Consuming Fire making them look fancy on your bar.
• On the other hand however the tree has talents like Monster Rising, Burning Blades and Enduring Torment that significantly increase your output out of Metamorphosis.
• Generally I would highly recommend to play this talent tree as it almost does the same damage as Aldrachi Reaver with way less effort, which allows you to focus on more important stuff than dealing damage.
• Make sure to use your Sigil of Flame, Immolation Aura and Eye Beam before using Metamorphosis as Violent Transformation resets those abilities.

Boss Tips

General Umbriss

• Make sure to face your character towards where you want to go if you get targeted by Rock Spike as it knocks you in that direction. Try to also position yourself properly as it spawns Rumbling Earth that covers the floor and makes the fight hard to play if not placed correctly.

• If you mess up at any point or there is no space left for you to drop Rumbling Earth use your Netherwalk to stand in the void.

Forgemaster Throngus

• This boss has a lot of AoE damage and is both a defensive check and healer check. Forge Weapon and Molten Spark overlaps are very dangerous and needs a defensive.

Drahga Shadowburner
